Property Disputes

Overview

Property disputes are rarely just about land — they involve family history, livelihoods and significant investment. KMCA approaches them with a clear strategy from the outset: establish the strength of your title, secure the property's status while the dispute runs, and pursue the route — negotiation, mediation or litigation — most likely to end it in your favour.

We represent landowners, purchasers, families and businesses in contested matters before the Environment and Land Court (ELC), Magistrates' Courts and on appeal.
